FAC Statement

Fans Against Criminalisation have noted the statement released
by Celtic yesterday and the media coverage of the events of Friday night at
Fir Park. All of the organisations associated with this campaign (Celtic Supporters' Association, Celtic Trust, Green Brigade, Affiliation of Registered CSCs and Association of Irish CSCs) condemn wanton acts of vandalism and have no objection to those
responsible, if identified and after a fair and transparent investigation, being suitably disciplined. There are
stadium regulations and laws which deal with such actions and our
campaign is not against those laws. We wish to make it clear that what
happened on Friday has absolutely nothing to do with our campaign
against the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act which is a campaign against the criminalisation of free
speech and political expression. We note attempts by the media to conflate the issues of vandalism with legitimate protest and we are confident that fair-minded people will see that for what it is.
